When Julien came back with Louis, her face was terrible because of all the crying.
Mama Lyle came out followed by old Mrs Lyle and asked Louis about what happened. But Devian has asked them not to tell what has happened so he nodded and said, “Nothing, mother-in-law, it’s just a trivial matter.
“Child…” Mama Lyle wanted to ask further but she was stopped by old Mrs Lyle. She put her hand on her shoulder and nodded slightly.
“Go and rest early.” Old Mrs Lyle spoke and indicated Louis to take Julien back to her room.
After they went up, “Let Leo come back. I’ll ask him.” Old Mrs Lyle said to Averley.
“Okay mom.” She agreed
…
When Susan woke up she was in the hospital room and a lady stood in front of her. It was already evening.
“Where’s Leo?” She asked.
“Young master left with young madam after sending you here” the maid replied.
“Young Madam!” Susan gritted her teeth. “Even now he didn’t stay beside me!”
“Where did he go?” She asked.
“I don’t know. They went to Lyle Mansion I suppose.”
The maid spoke.
“Is this Miss Hayes out of her mind? I’m just a servant, how’d I know where Young Master and Young Madam went!” The maid thought.
“He asked me to take you back to the mansion once you wake up.” The maid spoke again.
Susan was pissed off, “Shouldn’t he stay beside me, I wasn’t well after all!”
“Young miss, you were just unconscious, that wasn’t serious….” The maid tried to explain but…
“You keep your mouth shut, call Devian and say that I’m not well, come to hotel Moonstar as soon as possible.”
Yet the maid was a little unwillingly to lie. “But Miss you’re all right….”
“Just do what I said.” Susan shouted. “I’m leaving for Moonstar. Do as I say and ask him to come quickly” and she left, throwing these words to the maid.
…
After a while when Arien came out, she saw a full table of dishes.
“Who else are coming to eat?” Arien joked looking at the dishes.
“It’s for you. You were exhausted. Moreover you didn’t eat in the morning and it’s already evening.” Devian frowned.
“I can’t eat so much. Even if we both eat we won’t be able to complete it” Arien said sitting on the chair.
Devian glanced at her and said “Just eat”
“…..” Arien didn’t know how to make this man understand.
Anyways, she was indeed hungry so they had food.
It was only evening and Arien had nothing to do. If she’d have been in Lyle Mansion, she’d have helped the servants for the event’s preparations.
“What are you thinking?” After washing the dishes, Devian came back to the living room only to find her looking blankly to the television. What was surprising for Devian was that the television was switched off.
“Uhh… Nothing…..” Arien said.
Devian had already sat beside her when she acted like a child, “Shall we go back?”
“No…” But Devian’s reply was stern. He wasn’t letting Arien go back to Lyle Mansion to get busy in those decorations again because all that can be done by the servants.
He picked her up and took her to bed, “Rest, Mrs Lyle”
Devian asked her to tell him about that night. But then he got a call from the maid saying Susan wasn’t well but she went to Hotel Moonstar. She has asked him to come to the room they had once met.
“This woman!” She was really getting on Devian’s nerves now.
“What’s the matter?” Arien, who was lying beside him on the bed, saw him frowning. She reached her hand to ease his frown.
“Nothing, you sleep. I’ve something to be done right away. I’ll be back soon” he got up and left.
Arien was alone again, just like the last time. She didn’t know why she felt uneasy after Devian left just like that. She wanted to stop him but he had already gone out.
“Sigh… Everything is alright… I shouldn’t think so much.” Arien spoke.
…
Devian drove to the hotel with a deadly cold face. It took him just a couple of minutes as Loveland was not far from the hotel Moonstar.
He had just reached there, opened the door and took the first step inside when he felt something behind.
He was quiet off guard when someone infused something on his back and some kind of chemical was injected making his limbs numb instantly.
With all his leftover might, Devian turned around with his blurred vision to see who it was. The man looked so much like….
And he fell down.
…
“Everything’s arranged, Miss. You just have to go sleep next to him when she comes here.” The man reported inside the next room.
Susan smirked and then replied in a hushed tone “Okay go back. We can’t let anyone know that you’re here or, Devian will know who’s helping me.” She smiled. “Remember, I’ll give you a call, then, you’ve to send her a text. Now leave” she added
“Yes Miss.” The man left.
Susan sat there in the room laughing. “Who’s gonna stop me now form becoming Mrs Ace!” She spoke gulping down the whole glass of wine.
…
After Julien was calm, Louis finally decided to go back to his house. It was only two days to their marriage and according to their parents they shouldn’t meet right now but something like this happened so he had to come find her.
He came out of her room. She had finally agreed to let him go back home after convincing for a long time. She also followed like a kitten.
Louis turned around with a helpless expression. “You get back inside and rest” he ordered like the boss.
“Nope…” Julien wanted to act all spoiled.
“If you’ll come follow me…. I’ll kidnap you from your wedding.” Louis spoke
“Do as you please. I’m marrying you either way” Julien laughed.
“Please go inside, Julie. It’s not good to meet like this before…” He said.
“Don’t tell me you believe!” Julien didn’t believe these things.
Louis pinched her cheeks and replied, “No.. but I don’t want any problems to arise in our wedding.”
After coaxing Julien, Louis finally walked towards the stairs.
While walking through the corridor, he passed old Mr Lyle’s room and heard someone, maybe old Mr Lyle’s assistant speaking, “We’ve drugged him. All we need do is to ensure she sees Miss Hayes sleeping next to him.”
Louis wandered what was going on. Who was the assistant talking about. Anyways it was not his matter to be bothered so he was just going to move forward when he heard the assistant speaking again, “She could then be Mrs Ace, just like you want old master.”
“Hushh… Talk slow. I don’t want anyone to hear what we’ve planned.”
“Mrs Ace?” Louis paused. “Devian? Is it about him?”
Louis left without making any sound. If they don’t want anyone to hear them, let them think no one heard.
